A red field carrying one long column medallion outlined in navy, built from a chain of panels: two cream panels each holding a blue octagon with hooked devices, a cream diamond at the centre, and a small cream octagon at each end, linked by narrow bars of small crosses and diamonds. Beside each blue octagon, inside the cream panels, stand small animal figures in red and navy. The red ground around the column is scattered with stars, square motifs and rows of small S-shaped figures, with a cream triangle holding an S in each corner. A wide cream border of hooked cross motifs in red, navy, green and gold runs between narrow guard stripes, closed by a plain red outer band and a short fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool. There are four small animal figures on the rug, two in each cream panel, one on either side of the blue octagon — easy to miss until you look for them. At 65×120cm this is an extra small rug — a doorway, bedside or small hallway piece.
